Ego over Bandido? Ok then.

Good thing it's not going to be in front of this crowd, too. Do they crown The Elite?

That reveal was... weird?

Never should have made her a face, truth be told. At least not with that "I am overrating my contributions to professional wrestling" stuff.

Also, Big WARD hit that tope like it was nothing. Dude is rad.

Britt is gonna get cheered over Saraya. Easy.

I just need Eddie Kingston to start winning and have that shit mean something, man

The G00NTHA push is good, too. He's legitimized Imperium and somehow managed to get the Brawling Brutes over, which was no small feat considering one of them is named Butch and the other broke Big E's neck. Mia Yim was already placed on a important spot (surely is doing more than her NXT sting already) and Shotzi just got a title match. Raquel is looking very good (get rid of that fucking back pose) and just very happy in general. Not everything is a hit, of course, but some things are different. .

Don't worry, bubba. That Capitol Viking Raiders push is coming

This was actually part of his gimmick back when he was in NXT. He feuded with Apollo and back then told him to "go back to Ring of Honor". It was then that I noticed he was more than just a generic big edgy guy.

Corbin does this interview on The Bump, 100% in character, and people equate him to Braun, notorious for being an unprompted douche on twitter. Corbin in some aspects is pretty similar to MJF, tbh.

You mean the Funkasaurus Brodus Clay?

That man got worked by Dixie Carter. It was a matter of time before thinga got off the rails.

I get what you are saying, bubba, but as noted before, Wrestlemania was never *just* about the wrestling. The first two editions had Mr. T, and on Wrestlemania 2 he had a BOXING MATCH against Roddy Piper. Besides, considering how they made WM a two day event, plus the NXT event that happens on Saturday afternoon, it becomes harder and harder for someone to not have their big pay day because a part timer was featured. Like, it makes sense that they are rolling out nostalgia acts or crossover talent or whatever that is popular and outside the wrestling spectrum because Wrestlemania is their event which appeals to the masses, to the mainstream audiences, to the Regular Joe and Joanna who aren't so much into wrestling but appreciate a good dose of spectacle. To make an appropriate comparison, the Superbowl is a bit similar to Wrestlemania ever since it had those big damn halftime shows (thanks MJ). Sure, the event is the final game of the season, but many people who are not into the sport have their eyes on the musical number associated to it. You need your biggest event to draw as many eyes as possible and widen your scope. This does remind me of when Bad Bunny, who is legit one of the biggest musical acts going on today - and might be one of the biggest draws in history - was announced for Wrestlemania, some complained, said "who?" and pondered if god damn SALIVA wouldn't be a better name.

How can Double J be so damn goated?

Austin is quite literally WWE's greatest wrestler ever and might have been the face of professional wrestling's biggest boom period. He's just five years older than Jericho, too! We can survive that man having a match on the biggest stage of them all.

welp

Austin vs Gunther would be good, I guess. Maybe they take his belt from him at the Rumble?

Lesnar may be brute, but he ain't stupid. He knows who can take his shit or not - Heyman certainly took a beating from that man throughout the years, Cole got F5'd off his shoes... I believe he would take good care of Austin. I mean, that dude was taking suplexes on concrete against Owens, so who knows. His knees always felt more like an issue than his neck.

Maybe him vs Cena? I don't think he'll job in this case because Cena is just up for whatever they give him - being squashed by Taker, doing whatever the fuck that Fiend Wyatt segment was.

Hope the heel team takes one of the babyfaces out (Alexa, most likely) and we get both Naomi and Sasha

The thing about Tozawa is that he's funny as hell but also really fucking good.

I want to get into tayloring. To see how she's been able to do that on top of being a generational athlete is fucking awesome.

Bianca is, respectfully speaking, the greatest of all time. Holy shit.

so much respect on the screen right now
